Scientists MBA - Marine Biological Association & Newcastle University have embarked on a groundbreaking project to protect native #kelp populations in the UK. The #Greengravel project is a pioneering #restoration tool designed to combat kelp forest decline. Read here: buff.ly/3Svz1wv The Fishmongers' Company

Check out our new review just out now on Planktonic Marine fungi in AGU Biogeosciences - with a particular focus on the role fungi play in ocean biogeochemistry and tools used to observe them🍄🌊 🔬🚢🧬🥼 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…

Congratulations Dr Salland!!! 🌱🍾

SUPERSTAR scientists apply here! We're recruiting for a #PDRA in Marine #Conservation, #Restoration and Management to join our GlobalSeaweed-SUPERSTAR team. Full details, and guidance on how to apply, can be found here: sams.ac.uk/vacancies/pdra…

Dani Bridger new OPEN ACCESS paper is out today that shows the aggregation effect of fishes around the Offshore Shellfish Lyme Bay mussel farm, and the assemblage diversity of animals that live on the ropes with the mussels University of Plymouth Applied Marine Ecosystems Research (aMER) Plymouth dx.doi.org/10.1002/aff2.1…

🐟NEW PAPER!🐟 Our results from camera & fishing surveys in UK seaweed & mussel farms suggest they could create new feeding grounds for fish of commercial & ecological importance🏡🌱🦪👩‍🌾 Available Open Access via AEI_IR: doi.org/10.3354/aei004…

British shellfish and seaweed farms could provide valuable habitats for coastal fish species, according to new research from MBA - Marine Biological Association & University of Exeter mba.ac.uk/british-shellf… #aquaculture #seaweedfarms #musselfarms #marinelife The Fishmongers' Company #shellfishfarms

🚨New PhD paper is out🚨 Invertebrate assemblages associated with living space provided by the warm-temp. #kelp #Saccorhiza polyschides in the Western English Channel. OA in Marine Environmental Research! 🌊🌱 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

So grateful to the most wonderful team at the MBA for making my PhD so fun! These past 4.5 years have flown but I've made so many lifelong friends & memories. Big thanks to my supervisors Dan Smale Ross, Charles & Ian for amazing support! Look how next level this cake is 😮🤯

A great week in Kuala Lumpur for the GlobalSeaweedSTAR team developing ways to safeguard global seaweed biodiversity and sustainable livelihoods in aquaculture 🌱👩‍🌾 Thank you to our wonderful hosts Prof. Phaik Eem Lim and her team Universiti Malaya . I've learnt so much! 🌺🇲🇾

Our new study published today in Nature Communications examined links between marine heatwaves (MHWs) and the health of foundation species (corals, kelps, seagrass) across the global coastal ocean rdcu.be/dKHfN (1/n)

Anyone in the UK this week? Head to the coast to take part in the annual #bigseaweedsearch There are great resources to help you ID what you find and you’ll contribute valuable data to this long running citizen science project Marine Conservation Society Natural History Museum @Juliet_seaweeds Capturing Our Coast

🚨NEW PAPER ALERT🚨 What is the #BlueCarbon potential of #seaweedfarming in the UK? 🌱🌊🧑‍🌾🚜 Here we explore how much carbon farmed #sugarkelp captures, releases and sequesters! check out the OA article via ➡️➡️ link.springer.com/10.1007/s10811… MBA - Marine Biological Association NCL Marine

🚨🚨 in our new study in Functional Ecology we show that pre-exposure to realistic marine heatwaves can influence CTmax values in critical foundation species, but responses vary hugely between taxa.

Fun day promoting new paper - Dr Thomas Stamp using historical ecology - 1871 French fishing map and acoustic telemetry to show regenerative effects of farm and value to commercially valuable lobsters 🦞 and crabs 🦀 interview on bbc Spotlight tonight 🦀 bbc.com/news/articles/…

"A field-based community ecologist at heart, he has led recent advances in understanding marine heatwaves" Recognized as a Future Leader by the UK Research & Innovation Council, Dr Dan Smale Dan Smale Marine Biological Association MBA - Marine Biological Association is awarded ICES Prix d’Excellence 2024

Absolutely thrilled (and shocked!) to receive the Prix d'Excellence award at the ICES opening ceremony in Gateshead. Thanks to the ICES team, those who nominated/supported, and to all the amazing collaborators over the years 🥲 mba.ac.uk/mba-researcher…

Had a great time representing GlobalSeaweedSTAR & Natural History Museum at the The Global Centre on Biodiversity for Climate International Climate and Environment symposium in Nairobi this week. So many important discussions about environmental and climate justice in a beautiful setting next to Nairobi National Park 🦒🌿🇰🇪

Super stoked my 1st paper as lead author is out OA! 🥳 Depth reduces yield of farmed sugar kelp, but increased yield of non target macroalgae which could be an opportunity for farmers 🌱💙 search.app/ZDpYCS63e7sSZL…

I have finally joined Bluesky and will be posting my regular science updates there instead of here. I'd love to connect with more people there, so if you would like to follow along: @sophiecorrigan.bsky.social 🌱 🌊
